Torrance Barrens Dark Sky Reserve, Ontario, Canada

Color Zone: Dark GreenIs Camping Allowed? NoEntrance Fee? NoDescription: Conservation Reserves are areas of crown land established by regulation and managed under the Public Lands Act by the Ministry of Natural Resources to protect natural features. The Torrance Barrens was designated a Conservation Reserve in 1997, culminating a grassroots community effort to have it legally protected. Rugged rocky barrens scenery, nationally and provincially rare plants and wildlife and a contiguous peaceful wilderness in the heart of Muskoka were all worth preserving. Here is a fully preserved oasis in central Ontario, Canada, just a two-hour drive from Toronto. Bugs can be a problem in July and August!!!!
